He did wear #27 for 3 or 4 exhibition games and was pictured once with that number. No always number 4. He might have worn 30 before the Bruins and then when he got called up to play for them the number might have been taken already. I have him in a picture and a Boston sweater #30 so what was that about?
Nobody since Bobby Orr.

Bobby Orr never played against the Boston Bruins as a member of another team. He spent the majority of his NHL career with the Bruins from 1966 to 1976 before injuries led to his early retirement. After leaving Boston, Orr briefly played for the Chicago Blackhawks, but he never faced the Bruins in a game during that time due to his limited appearances.
